As I have said many times in the context of many similar incidents in Iraq and Afghanistan, there is no reliable way to distinguish a peaceful Muslim from a jihadist. This is yet more fruit of the unwillingness to make even a cursory attempt to take that fact into account.
And every few weeks (the last time was September 26), I find the paragraph above in the archives and post it again.
And yet the dhimmi dim bulbs in the intelligence community in Washington are busy making sure that none of their teaching materials offend terror-linked Islamic supremacist groups in the U.S. This latest mass murder in Afghanistan is the fruit also of their witless useful idiocy and political correctness. They have done nothing and are doing nothing to equip American personnel in Afghanistan with any understanding of why this might happen, so as to allow them to guard themselves against it. And so the death toll of willful blindness, fantasy-based policymaking and politically correct falsehoods about Islam continues to mount.
"13 Americans Said to Be Among Killed in Kabul Attack," by Rod Nordland and Sharifullah Sahak for the New York Times, October 29 (thanks to Bill):
[...] In addition, three Australian NATO soldiers were killed on Saturday by an Afghan soldier who turned his weapon on them, Afghan officials said....The attack on the Australians took place in the Nish District of Kandahar Province, at a forward operating base used by Australian troops to train the Afghan National Army. Gen. Abdul Hameed, the commander of the Afghan National Army’s 205th Corps, said an Afghan Army trainee opened fire on his Australian trainers, killing three of them as well as an Afghan interpreter. At least nine others were wounded, General Hameed said, seven of them Australians.
“We don’t know the cause of this shooting yet, and we are investigating,” he said.
Yes, it's a total mystery!
“The soldier was not new, the first phase of his training was completed and he was in the second phase of his training.”...In Khost, unknown gunmen opened fire on a car Friday night, killing four of the occupants, all of them drivers for NATO supply vehicles, said Col. Zeyarat Gul Azans, spokesman for the Khost police chief.
Also on Saturday, a young female suicide bomber on foot attacked government offices in eastern Asadabad city, wounding four, according to the chief of security for Kunar Province, Abdul Sabor Allayar. Guards at the Afghan intelligence service spotted the woman, who was wearing a burqa, and shot her to death before she could get close enough to cause much harm, he said.
god almighty, when, WHEN, *W(!)H(!)E(!)N(!)* will normal, people understand that there is no such thing as winning hearts and minds of an enemy sworn to our destruction?
there is only ONE peaceful solution to put an end to this ridiculous phony charade:
THE WEST OUT OF LANDS OF ISLAM!
ISLAM OUT OF LANDS OF THE WEST!
they are not allowed to connect the dots and use common sense.. so ingrained in respect for all religions by the faithful in the West.. and those leftist liberals looking for their victim's rights.. that logical people cannot tell them the truth about islam!
The Muslim Brother led WH is accountable to being directly at fault and is causing the deaths of many Americans abroad as well as assisting the MB in their plan to destroy America from within.
The WH's corruption is left open to all those to see and who are not blinded by the cancer of political correctness, which is a nice word for self-righteousness.
Sudden Jihad Syndrome.

Oh, and by the way - why the hell are MUSLIM trainess allowed to have live rounds in training, even at "second stage"?
Issue blanks to these murderers until they stomp on the Koran, or cook a steak with it.
"They have done nothing and are doing nothing to equip American personnel in Afghanistan with any understanding of why this might happen, so as to allow them to guard themselves against it."
This is equivalent to sending troops into battle with deliberately defective and sabotaged equipment and armaments. Those responsible are guilty of murder and treason and should be brought to justice, then dealt with in the traditional manner.
"Those responsible are guilty of murder and treason and should be brought to justice, **then dealt with in the traditional manner**."
[** = phoenix emphasis]
amen to that!
The families of the soldiers killed, murdered, because of these ridiculous rules should sue their respective governments.
Afghan Army trainee opens fire on his Australian trainers, murdering three
............................
*How many times have we seen this*? Afghan "Army trainees" or "police trainees" murdering Americans, or Canadians, or Germans, or Australians, or whatever Kuffars they can handily reach?
And it's always such a mystery to Infidel authorities, who are—over and over again—utterly bewildered by such attacks...
Here, from "The Australian" is a somewhat more detailed account of the jihadist attack on the Australians,

Three Australian soldiers killed, seven wounded in Afghanistan shooting

My heartfelt sympathies go out to those who have just lost a loved one - killed by a treacherous foe. When, oh when, will governments wake up!
A thorough investigation had begun but there would no guarantee it would provide the answers Australia's wanted, the Prime Minister said.
"We may never know the answer to the most searching question, which is why the shooting occurred", Ms Gillard said.
My Prime Minister is a typical clueless politician. Maybe he got it from here Julia? Slay the unbelievers wherever you catch them. (2:191)
Perhaps it is time your Prime Minister was introduced to a few lines from Winston Churchill's "The Malakand Field Force" whose words are every bit as true today as when they were written 115 years ago, like this extract, which albeit was describing the Swat Valley, could also be the perfect description of Afghans and their treachery, which was well know to Victorian Britons:
“The inhabitants of these... valleys are of many tribes, but of similar character and condition.
‘Except at the times of sowing and of harvest, a continual state of feud and strife prevails throughout the land.
‘Tribe wars with tribe. The people of one valley fight with those of the next.
‘To the quarrels of communities are added the combats of individuals. Khan assails khan, each supported by his retainers.
‘Every tribesman has a blood feud with his neighbour.
‘Every man's hand is against the other, and all against the stranger.
‘Nor are these struggles conducted with the weapons which usually belong to the races of such development. To the ferocity of the Zulu are added the craft of the Redskin and the marksmanship of the Boer.
‘The world is presented with that grim spectacle, “the strength of civilisation without its mercy.” At a thousand yards the traveller falls wounded by the well-aimed bullet of a breech-loading rifle. His assailant, approaching, hacks him to death with the ferocity of a South-Sea Islander. The weapons of the nineteenth century [update: 21st century] are in the hands of the savages of the Stone Age.”
Quote "We don't know the cause of this shooting yet, and we are investigating..."
Let me spell it out for you, General Ham-eed, it's spelled K.O.R.A.N and it's sometimes spelled Q.U.R.A.N.
Read Robert's book Religion of Peace? (Purchase at Amazon) (Purchase at Barnes and Noble) or you can usually find a copy of the Koran and the Bible at your local library (Note: remember the Old Testament is a RECORD of what was instructed to the people of THAT time and the New Testament of and for our current age should be contrasted against the book of warfare i.e. the Koran). TAKE TIME TO READ BOTH and make your own conclusions and then tell someone else about it. The pen is mightier than the sword. Thanks Robert for upholding the truth of such an age-old phrase.
The more that Muslims know about the Koran and Sunnah, the more violent they become. There is no way to co-exist with Muslims. They must ALL be rounded up and deported. They hate our way of life, our Judeo-Christian heritage, culture and customs. Their Mosques are command and control centers, a war college for subversion and treason against everything listed in our Declaration of Independence. With the exception of Judas Iscariot, Mohammad was perhaps the most evil man in history. He was a Godfather who invented and operated an international crime syndicate with a religious front. Islam has killed about 270 million people and the numbers are still climbing. And we still think that it is protected under the 1st Amendment? How stupid! We deserve our fate if we don't round up these animals and remove them from our shores peacefully if possible, but forceably if necessary. Then demolish every Mosque and disinfect the ground where they were built. Zero tolerance for practice of Islam. No Muslims in America!
Reminiscient of the military hierarchy's see no evil attitudes at Ft Hood and is the Australian commander declaring that the killings were the work of a rogue loner.
I'm an Aussie and this is the second time Aussie Digger's have been shot by a Afgany trainees turning there guns on people trying to help them.I wept a tear for them and there families and in the next artical I read is enother 13 American's lost their lives to this cause.I say enough is enough bring home all the boys from all countries involed and tell all visitors in these parts to come home,so we can get together and just level the hole of these arab waste lands and start again. Robert I have booked my ticket to see your speech in Aussie with Q Society and excited to meet you, God Bless you and Pam and please keep up the great work you both do
Hi mate. Nice to see yet another Aussie posting here.
How did you find your way to Jihadwatch?
Good to hear that you've linked up to Q Society and will be coming to one of Mr Spencer's gigs.
I've hooked up with Q as well and have booked a place for myself and husband at one of Mr Spencer's presentations. And have advertised it to some of my friends; there are several others I need to notify within the next week, in hopes they will go along to hear him.
PS Just out of curiosity, how long have you been lurking here?
I started lurking in late 2006 and then took a nom de plume and stepped onto the comments floor in April 2007, and have been a regular here ever since.
Company's great - except for the occasional Mohammedan dementors and boggarts, as well as the usual species of Troll that one gets in any internet forum - but the subject matter's pretty sobering.
